Hiba Bin Billes is a gaming journalist at Sportskeeda who specializes in Roblox. She began her career as an SPS Associate at Amazon Development Centre before transitioning to KePSLA, a startup company in Bangalore. However, her zest for journalism led to a shift in ambition, and she is currently pursuing her Master’s in English Literature. Hiba emphasizes the importance of cross-referencing information across multiple sources and ascertaining the credibility of the content she includes in her articles.

Hiba hails from a family of gamers and credits her parents for introducing her to the medium. The Counter-Strike series, in particular, offered her a menagerie of wonderful experiences and friends early in her gaming journey. She continues her exploits with the series to this day, with CS2 currently commanding her attention.

In 2019, Hiba dove into GTA V roleplay and assumed the character of a journalist. The virtual experience gave her the confidence to pursue this career in real life as she gained insight into the positive effects of disseminating news and transformed her into an inquisitive and extroverted person. Hiba admits to being besotted with GTA V roleplay and would gladly dive into the world Jumanji-style if given an opportunity.

Hiba prefers multiplayer titles as she loves spending quality time with her friends virtually. For her, gaming is most enjoyable when in good company. She adores simulation games — a genre she recommends for cynics and newcomers — and action-packed FPS titles. Hiba’s gaming interests also yielded a YouTube channel, which received plenty of positive feedback.

In her free time, Hiba finds comfort in cooking and poring through novels.
